Good News Clubs

Good News Club® is an after-school ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship® in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, community centers, churches, and just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet with their parent’s permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press®. This action-packed after-school ministry includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme. As with all CEF ministries, the purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.

Yes! The Gospel has been taught freely in public schools in after-school ministries all over the world for some time.  Now children in the U.S. have that opportunity, too!  In 2001 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Good News Clubs v. Milford Central School that Good News Clubs can meet in public schools in after school clubs in the United States after school hours on the same terms as other community groups. Children attend Good News Club only with their parents’ permission.
